An early season strong Northerly brought wind, rain, rising water, and a Gale on Sunday. Most got out friday in excellent conditions, a few sailed saturday in the rain and increasing wind. On sunday, none ventured out in gale conditions.
My thanks to Joe Anderson, Larry Miller, and Tom Lewis for sharing some of their photos.
